By that sin fell the angels. How can man then, the image of his maker hope to win by it?

Keeper and Masque Painting Update

It has been a bit of an inauspicious start to the blog, managing two updates in the first week and then going on a multi-week hiatus.  Fortuntately, that hiatus was the result of computer problems and not the result of skipping out on painting over the last few weeks.  Last post I mentioned The Masque was the inspiration for the color scheme for the Slaanesh army I am building.   Here are a few shots of her completed (except for basing).

Similar to the soul grinders The Masque is painted to be a bit 'fleshy' although not as dark as the ginders.  I wanted to replicate this effect for my Keeper of Secrets (KoS) but I, unfortunately, do not remember how I did it.  I painted her last summer before I became so engrossed in school that I took a painting vacation (and I was painting some SoB for Da Boyz GT).

Three weeks ago I started the in earnest and she is getting pretty close to done.  Here are some images along with her theater stage inspired base.  Thanks to my wife for the tips on the base.

I really like how the model turned out even though I essentially started over after painting it similar tot he SG's I had done.  In retrospect I think I could have highlighted with Dwarf Flesh and been okay, but I tried Elf Flesh and I really did not like the way it looked.

I also magnetized the KoS, with the Magnets on the piece of plastic card, I have a plan to make it fit in with the rest of the scenery, but I will share that next week when I have a chance to get more into basing again.  (I have to do basing at my home on the weekend since I live in a different city for work during the week).

Next on the block are some fiends which I have already basecoated with Tallarn and will try to finish the set this week.  The level of detail on those is much lower than on the KoS so I am optimistic.
